A Prayer for Mercy1231LORD, I look up to you,up to heaven, where you rule.2As a servant depends on his master,as a maid depends on her mistress,so we will keep looking to you, O LORD our God,until you have mercy on us.3Be merciful to us, LORD, be merciful;we have been treated with so much contempt.4We have been mocked too long by the richand scorned by proud oppressors.
